    Description

    I have found very few examples of this Luxfer early promo tile, one being in a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit in the MOMA museum. Wright did not design this tile though he did design over 40 patterns for Luxfer, only one of which was used.
    The window from which this group of 4 tiles came was found in a small town outside St Louis, MO. So I suspect it may have originated
    from St Louis.
    The face of the promo tile is in excellent condition having only a few small chips around the outside edges. The reverse does have a fair amount of chips on the sawtooth edges. The other three plain tiles are in good condition,with some chips on the back.
    I have tried to provide good images, but will be glad to provide more pictures if requested.
    The face shows 17 patent dates raging from 1881 to 1897. The original copper came is on 2 sides of the perimeter. A section or the original frame is on the top, and the edges of the glass tiles are exposed on the left side. Feel free to email questions. Thanks for looking.
